Upgrading Device Firmware
Your meter has upgradeable firmware. If you need to upgrade your
device, download a new firmware file to the meter through PAS.
Firmware can be downloaded via the Modbus RTU or Modbus/TCP protocol
through any communication port.
To download a new firmware file to your device:
1.
Ensure that the communication port you are connected through to
the meter operates in Modbus mode.
2.
If you are connected to the meter through a serial interface, it is
recommended to set the port baud rate to 115,200 bps. See
protocol and baud rate in your meter.
3.
Ensure that the
On-line
button on the PAS toolbar is checked, and
then select
Flash Downloader
from the
Monitor menu
and confirm
downloading.
4.
Point to the firmware upgrade file for your meter, click Open, and
then confirm upgrading the meter.
